Barre cords for example. I'm still just barely managing some shifts from the E to A based chords in (slow) time, but they're not sounding horrible. When I first started trying them several months ago, it was a joke.
My hand strength and flexibility have come a long way and that's probably the best part. At first I just laughed at the fret 2,4,6 stretch required for a blues shuffle in E. I had to literally pull my fingers apart to even try it, and then I couldn't hold it. Now I can do it "okay" most of the time even though I have to make some faces. I also don't get the cramping in the base of my thumb or forearm that I would get before, particularly with barre chords.
I need to put some more discipline into my practice time, but now that I'm starting to see some more meaningful progress, I think that will be a little easier too.
Just wanted to be another voice out there saying "stick with it" because it does get easier!
